The Romance Of The Thousand Loves
CH. 25. SACRED SYMBOLS AND SPELLS

Night covers the world. The moon was not visible in the sky, I don't know where she was shining tonight. Only the starry-studded stars that accompanied Tang Xiao's night sat on the roof of the Yan Empire's palace. He played the harp with a melodious tone.

Tang Xiao plucked each string of the zither full of passion. His voice was ringing throughout the entire Yan Empire. The people who heard the voice all fell silent. They wondered where the beautiful sound of the harp came from. They had never heard the sound of a lute like this. Even the musicians from the Yan Empire literary association were made to be amazed. All their years in the field of music, they have never heard a quote like this.

The whole community is enjoying this music. Like magic controlling them, it silently listened without knowing where it came from. Even the people of the black stream did not escape admiration.

Like the magic that controls them, a sick society, heals itself by hearing music playing. Like magic controlling them, the black stream that was about to commit a crime, rushed back to their respective places without knowing the reason back. Like magic controlling them, the entire society of the Yan Empire fell asleep in the strains of the lute. That night was a silent night, only the sound of the lute and the occasional sound of animals trying to irrigate the tone of the lute.

Xiao Long, Xiao Yang and Xiao Ying, were so longing for this kind of lyre tone. For several hundred years they had not heard this voice. A tone that they themselves did not know why their master was picking a tone like this.

Monica herself never believed that there was a lute like this that she had never heard of. In his past life, he had seen and known various musical arts in his world. Starting the art of inflatable, art of picking, until the art of hitting has been heard. He is also one of the music maniacs in his world. But tonight he was stunned by his master's music game. Such a soul-stirring game, teasing the room of longing in his heart. A longing for family warmth.

For a moment the music turned cheerful, but still in the same passage only a different tone. The atmosphere turned carefree, the sky was getting brighter, only the night was getting quieter.

I don't know what Tang Xiao was thinking to make a cheerful tone and could have bothered others. That's what Monica is about. But thanks to that as well, his mood instantly changed. He immediately realized his current state. She has a best friend who cares deeply for her, and also has a strange, mysterious, unexpected, yet caring Master. Although sometimes a little cold, sometimes even very scary.

Tang Xiao flicked his finger at each string of the zither while imagining his two lifetimes. In his old life he did not have a lover, while his eight friends gave each other love to establish a legitimate relationship. In this life he does not want to be alone, he must get a partner who can understand it. Even though he is only 15 years old, he has an infinite soul.

After settling into playing his soy sauce, Tang Xiao stuffed his soy sauce into his soul world, then sat staring at the sky.

Night covers the day. The day is covered in the night.

A few days ago Tang Xiao slaughtered one big family in the Yan Empire. There was a little guilt in his heart. He is not alone, but he kills the most. 'Maybe wherever I am this hand is always covered in battle blood. Is there any other way than to shed blood to establish peace? To uphold justice ?'

Tang Xiao exhaled a heavy breath. If there is, it may not last long. Perhaps only with death could one realize who he was. Killing is like an itchy disease that if scratched the longer the more delicious but bad for yourself. In his past, I had no idea how many creatures he had destroyed. If he were to give off his murderous aura, then one universe would explode from not being able to withstand the murderous aura that had been gathered all along.

Yes indeed he can feel the tranquility of the divine realm because he upholds harsh laws for offenders. Death penalty.

Yet he was currently thinking of restoring his strength and taking the shards of his energy that were thrown all over the universe. Maybe he won't be in this world for long. Although it was not easy for him because he had to tear through several dimensions and expel no small amount of energy. With his current strength, he would have a hard time making a convenient and secure dimensional portal. If it ripped apart the dimension, not necessarily Tang Xiao would go to the place as intended. Because there are many dimensions and spaces that must be torn apart.

Being just like that, Xiao Long spoke from within his soul world.

"Sir, what are you thinking? It seems like there is something you want to say. We're here ready to listen to Master" Those Xiao Long words made Tang Xiao flinch. He had forgotten that he had Xiao Long's servant whose current strength was able to create a gigantic dimensional portal. He smiled broadly.

"Ah yes Long'er, I will indeed need you guys, especially you"

"What can we do for you, sir? We are always with the master wherever and whenever" Xiao Long said those words full of passion.

He had been with his master all his life. He still remembered from childhood being often taught by Tang Xiao to become a Nine Head Divine Dragon. Together with his Master's friends, they live in harmony together without ever acting out of each other. Xiao Long himself already did not remember what age it was.

He had not counted his age since he was a millennium old.

Tang Xiao smiled hearing Xiao Long's words.

"Yes, I'll tell you later. Now there's something I have to do." Said Tang Xiao while looking at the night sky. He narrowed his eyes then looked straight at the one star that was shining the dimest.

"Ah it turns out my crown is there. It was only fitting that I felt a familiar air. Pretty far anyway. But it is worth it to me." Tang Xiao flew out of his seat. As he looked at the Crown that was on another planet, he could only see that his Crown could not see anything else. He did not know that there was a commotion on the planet for the fight over his crown.

Tang Xiao who was hovering, immediately descended into the courtyard of the Palace. The atmosphere is very quiet. Only night animals such as crickets, toads and wolf paddles were heard from afar. The guards on guard were asleep. Looking at the atmosphere around, his heart was so peaceful. "Maybe in my life this time, I will live in the Human world. But it would be contrary to my life purpose. If indeed I cannot stay in the human world, at least I am ready to leave humanity in good and right condition. It's just how long I have to get my powers back. I still haven't avenged my parents. At least before I go far, the grudge must be avenged so that I can calm down. Just wait for the death of you people who killed my parents." Tang Xiao muttered as he walked into his room. There was a sense of sadness and guilt in his heart at this time because he had not had time to avenge that had accumulated in recent years. With his strength now it would be very easy to flatten the black stream as easy as turning the palm.

Tang Xiao stopped in front of his room without opening the door, he just walked in. Had anyone seen Tang Xiao's behavior, that person would have instantly hung up and instantly died on the spot.

In the room, he immediately took out Pandora's box. Pandora's box in her hand instantly turned a golden blue color. A sign that the box has been in the hands of its owner. The box that Xiao Long gave out after coming out of the South Coast Ocean. Xiao Long also brought the entire Ocean dwellers into his soul world. Right now Tang Xiao's Soul World looked crowded from before. He was also pleased that the being whose existence was sought throughout the universe was now in his soul. Those various kinds of Dragon races had submitted to him without having to hurt them and without forcing them.

"I don't think in this world there's a Pandora of Destruction box. The rumor is true. I wish my friends knew this box was in my hands, I don't know what they were reacting to. Maybe I'll complain about asking for it. Hihah... Huffttt somehow you guys are there, man. One day we will regroup and guard the entire universe from a place no one has ever known." Tang Xiao scanned the Box that was currently in his hand. Seen from anywhere, he still could not see the contents of Pandora's box. 'It was mysterious, with Divine eyes, that I could not see what was in the box. Is it possible because right now my strength is insufficient to see it.' Tang Xiao wondered why he was unable to see the contents of the box. Though the divine eye is able to penetrate 10 dimensions of great. He is currently unable to see Pandora's box.

After quite a while of thought, Tang Xiao bit his index finger and spat out a golden blue blood. The color of the blood is the same as the color that comes out of Pandora's Box. Tang Xiao's blood flowed and soaked the entire surface of the Box. After feeling that enough blood had been removed, Tang Xiao closed the wound and regenerated.

The box that had been covered in golden blue blood now began to absorb the blood. Little by little we see the changes in the box. Sacred spells and ancient symbols appeared around the Box.

Tang Xiao who saw the incident was amazed. He had never seen the sacred symbols and spells surrounding Pandora's box hovering in front of him.

Without a second thought, Tang Xiao immediately closed his eyes and slowly tried to absorb the sacred symbols and spells surrounding his body. Ancient symbols and sacred spells that were originally white are now golden. The longer the movements of the symbols and spells were getting faster and smaller as if they were about to cover Tang Xiao's entire body.

The golden holy symbols and spells surrounding Tang Xiao's body gradually entered his head. Tang Xiao frowned in pain in his head due to the entrance of sacred symbols and spells.

Those ancient symbols and holy spells continued to enter Tang Xiao's head. As soon as the last holy symbols and spells entered his head, Tang Xiao's body that was hovering in a seated state instantly disappeared along with the loss of Pandora's Box. The two different objects disappeared without leaving a trace as if there had never been anyone in the room.

...****************...

Han Shan, after finishing cultivating his room after a week, had returned to his Golden Bamboo Sect. Even though he was a little complacent about not being invited to fight against the Lin Traitor Family, but he still felt satisfied because he who was now was not the one he used to be.

With his current strength he was already at the level of an Earth God as a Cultivator. It could be said to be the strongest Cultivator. Because the techniques he learned are indeed the strongest techniques in this world. Even Han Shan did not know that his technique was something that the Emperor of Heaven himself had been aiming for.

After returning from the Empire, there were so many questions from the members of his Sect regarding the treacherous Lin family, and of course also about a masked man who could cure the Crown Prince's illness.

Han Shan patiently answered their questions. One by one. He also recounts the action of the masked Man who cured the Crown Prince's illness in the burning of only one incense stick for the duration of his healing. Various kinds of comments came out from his sect members.

"Great.... The palace physician was already desperate"

"So much better is he from the white stream. Just imagine that person came from the Black Stream."

"Yes right. If from the black stream maybe the chance of winning is just a little."

Some of his students were clearly heard. Right now Han Shan's hearing was so sharp. Until he could hear all the words of his disciples who were far away from him. Some of his students also had negative comments.

"I'm a little suspicious of the masked man."

"Yes, I suspect too. Looks like the masked man has planned it all.

"Yes. I think so too. Where could he possibly cure a Illness that even the previous Emperor was incapable of at all."

"So there's a conspiracy here. I'm sure he's been planning all this to get into our Empire."

Han Shan only shook his head to hear the chattering of his students. Han Shan felt the need to explain something.

"Do you know what level the masked man is?" Han Shan asked, raising his voice.

The question made everyone quiet. They forget the most important thing a swordsman knows.

Seeing all the disciples and elders that were crowding around speechless, Han Shan smiled faintly and took a deep breath then started to speak.

"That person's level is Nirvana, and he's a Cultivator" Han Shan uttered while being proud of himself.

"Aappaa?" Everyone was shocked to not believe it. A Cultivator at the level of Nirvana was already considered a God. Everyone was silent in their minds.

Some of the disciples who spoke ill earlier looked pale and quivering. They had misjudged a hero of the Crown Prince's savior. Moreover, that hero had aided the Emperor in fighting the Lin family traitors.

Han Shan seemed to enjoy the admiration of the disciples and elders of the Golden Bamboo Sect. 'If they knew the masked man there was Xiao'er what they would react to'. Inner Han Shan in the heart

Thanks to the SPDS readers.

Especially my gratitude to NovelToon for supporting me.

There's probably about a week more I'm not up. I am indeed busy. First because I was taking care of the children in the dormitory. The second I do several school reports and Foundation reports every one semester. And the third is that I got sick a few days ago. Because of the busyness and pursued deadline and the body that crashed made me stop while writing a novel. I focus on the reports that the deadline is pursuing.

Yes again I say to all those who are still faithful to read SPDS from the beginning.

****Salam*****s healthy always and do not forget to always obey the program as a way of business that we can do.
