The Romance Of The Thousand Loves
CH. 61. THE ANCIENT DIVINE BEINGS

THE RED DAWN DESERT

It had already been half a month since Tang Xiao and Denas had descended into the hallway of the desert palace. They had already entered half of the vast hallway of the palace. Although their journey was full of life-threatening dangers, they were able to overcome it easily and go through it without difficulty.

"Third brother, how long will you be like that?" Denas who was sitting next to him asked with worry. It had been more than a week that Tang Xiao had not eaten at all nor drank and it made Denas very worried. She had never seen her brother go on a hunger and drink strike for more than a day.

"Her...." Tang Xiao only nodded for a moment then continued his cultivation. He had actually these few days felt something strange inside the passageway deep in the middle there. Something that felt so familiar to him. He tried to throw away that feeling, but it always came out. He did not eat because he did not need to eat. He was busy knowing what was in there.

"The real answer is lo" Denas said annoyedly from beside him.

Tang Xiao opened one eye then looked at the annoyed Denas.

"Hmmm.. Fourth sister, you'd better be a woman if you're too chatty." Tang Xiao said, closing one of his eyes.

"No, whatever the third brother says. But if it hurts, I won't help." A resolute reply then turned towards the Azure Dragon sect members who were mining the energy crystals within the passageway.

Every time Tang Xiao and Denas' group passed through the passageway guarded by powerful beings, they would find energy crystals in the surroundings. The level of energy crystals present corresponds to the difficulty level of the creature guarding it. All this time the Azure Dragon sect had like getting durian collapsed at any moment. Their storage had exceeded what they had imagined, but they knew that if there would be a share of results, of course, they would still get more rations.

Tang Xiao got up from his seat then stepped forward through the hallway when he learned the other members had finished mining and had a break. Denas caught up with Tang Xiao and walked parallel to him.

"What happened in these few days third brother??" Ask Denas who indeed he has the nature of excessive worry.

"It's nothing, I just miss someone." Tang Xiao replied without looking.

"Is it your lover?" Asked Denas again from the curious side.

Tang Xiao shook his head. "I haven't had a special woman in my heart." Tang Xiao replied flatly.

"Then does the third brother miss the old man." Ask Denas again.

Tang Xiao nodded slowly. "I've been abandoned by them for five years. I still remember those warm memories with them those years. At that time if I was strong, of course they would accompany me at every step." Tang Xiao's words held back the emotion that was quivering by longing. Although he had eradicated all the bandits who killed his parents, but the longing could not be treated just like that. As a teenager who had lived a life of misery, he certainly also had a fragile heart despite having unimaginable strength.

"Don't third brother now have us who will accompany you to conquer the world?" Say Denas from the side.

Tang Xiao smiled slightly. "That's two different things. Now what about you? Don't you miss them or vice versa?" Tang Xiao asked to switch the conversation.

Denas looked ahead then was silent for a moment. "I've only been running away from them for a few months and it would be weird if I felt like I was missing, even I felt like I wanted to be away from them for a while longer." Answer Denas casually.

"Is there anyone you don't like in your family?" Tang Xiao asked curiously.

"Other than my father, mother, some teachers, as well as some elders in the family, I hate the others." Answer Denas casually.

"Every one of us must have someone who is hated to want to die. But one thing, do not let the hatred eliminate our humanity towards them. We may hate his nature, but not his." Tang Xiao sage advised Denas while gently banging his shoulders.

"Why do I feel like third brother is more chatty, huh?" Denas said without turning his head towards Tang Xiao.

"It's only natural that I'm your brother." Tang Xiao replied lightly.

"Hmmm... It seems like every human being can change huh." Denas murmured after a moment of silence.

"Humans can change, but feelings will still be the same neither diminished nor exaggerated." Reply Tang Xiao.

"What if one day I change, brother? Will I still be accepted by you or not? Or maybe you'll hate me."

Tang Xiao glanced at Denas beside him hearing this unusual statement.

"Why should I hate you, you are my sister and will remain my sister until later."

Denas.

"A different change, brother. Because my family had to change, because my burden had to change, because my responsibilities had to change. It might even change this brotherhood."

Tang Xiao glanced back at Denas. There was something different in Denas' eyes when Tang Xiao glanced at him.

"I can understand your point. As a brother I have always wanted a sister in my life, and your presence has granted it. As a sister, she should have taken care of her little sister from anything that tried to hurt her. If one day you tell me your real problems, you are ready to be a loyal listener tirelessly. This brotherhood like anything, will remain brothers even though the sky collapses and the earth erupts. No one would be able to take my sister from her brother without her permission." Said Tang Xiao as he hooked Denas' neck into his armpit.

"Ughs... The third brother was still joking in this kind of atmosphere. How many days does not take a bath smell." Reply Denas whose neck was within Tang Xiao's armpits.

"Hahaha to be honest second sister. You've never smelled a scent like this, have you? This was one of his specials from the Divine Emperor Body." Reply Tang Xiao without removing Denas' head from his arm.

Denas just shut up. She had indeed never smelled the fragrance coming out of Tang Xiao's body. Even the fragrance of his body overcame all the fragrances Denas had ever smelled all along. Denas himself is a person who really likes fragrances. And just this time the fragrance that came out of Tang Xiao's body made her cheeks flushed red.

Denas and Tang Xiao's ridiculous behavior was only noticed in silence by their members who were behind. They were just smiling looking at the two handsome young men so familiar.

"Oh yes third brother, where did you get such strength from at this young age?" Ask Denas who had always been curious about where his third brother got so much power at a young age, of course behind great students there is an extraordinary teacher.

"I think this power is one of my secrets. But surely all these powers are real." Tang Xiao replied releasing Denas' neck from his arm.

Denas stretched his stiff neck after Tang Xiao's removal.

"OK if it's a secret. But I also have a big secret. How about we bet brother." Say Denas from the side.

"Ok who's afraid." Reply Tang Xiao.

"If later I tell my secret, brother should also tell me the secret of third brother. Fair right?" Denas Say.

"Is that all right?" Ask Tang Xiao.

Denas nodded.

"Alright agree. But what secrets do you have that you want to exchange with my precious secrets?" Ask Tang Xiao.

"He's secret. But for sure my secret is much bigger than the third Kaka." Answer Denas.

Then they continued their journey down a deeper passageway. Unlike before, the passageways were filled with colorful light crystals. Every few times the light that illuminates the halls is so beautiful and pampering the eyes makes all who see it forget that a passage as beautiful as this is under the deadly Desert.

"Sister Tang, could it be that we can build a house as beautiful and as good as this?" Denas asked involuntarily from the side. The lights that illuminated the passageway made him forget for a moment.

"Where do you think it's better these halls or the red palace you used to see?" Tang Xiao replied by asking a question.

"That's two different things, brother. Of course much nicer and more beautiful red palace. That red palace is no longer in my imagination. But these halls provide a sense of harmony and indulgence not found in the red palace." Denas replied without taking his eyes off the hallways.

"Why do you think that?" Ask Tang Xiao again.

"That's not about my mind, brother, that's my feeling. My feeling is that the owner of the palace lived his life without a lover. The entire palace was majestic and beautiful matchless, but there was no impression of warmth and harmony that was truly alive. It was as if the palace showed the nature of the owner being cold, unfeeling and also insensitive and rigid." Denas replied lightly without caring about Tang Xiao's attitude which looked at him strangely.

"Why do I feel like fourth sister is making fun of me." Tang Xiao muttered from the side.

"Currently, third brother is not that kind of person." Reply Denas closed his mouth holding back a laugh.

Their steps came to a halt when a large door with gold ornaments adorned the entire length of the door. A big, solid door.

Tang Xiao went forward to see the door. He was interested in the gold ornaments that adorned the door. He fumbled the door leaf to feel the aura adorning the ornament.

"Hem... I guess there's something special about this door that turns out to be all just ordinary ornaments. I better kick this door." Tang Xiao muttered who had already raised his right leg.

"Wait for the young please don't break our door." Say someone from behind the door. The voice of a normal human being.

Tang Xiao paused his intention and put his right foot back on the floor. Then slowly the door opened and a grandmother came out from behind the door. The grandmother carried a stick to support her body which could fall at any time, just waiting for time.

"Welcome... Young man." The old grandmother bowed.

"Sama-sama grandma. Please don't repeat, it should be the young who bow." Reply Denas who also bowed followed Tang Xiao.

"Congratulations, you have made it to this stage. You have been the heirs we have been searching for for decades." Said the old granny in a hoarse voice and quivered as she was old.

"I mean grandma?" Ask Denas who doesn't understand.

The grandmother turned her head towards Tang Xiao then nodded slowly.

"You two better follow me inside. Others, please rest in that place." The granny replied as she pointed towards Tang Xiao's group and then stomped her wand to the floor.

Tuk..

Wush....

The Azure Dragon sect members vanished from their sight all, leaving the old granny, Tang Xiao and Denas confused.

"Don't confuse their young people all right. Look at your brother it just looks relaxed." The granny said then turned around and stepped into the room behind her followed by Tang Xiao and Denas. Although the old man walked with a cane, but his walking speed was like a normal young man.

After walking for quite a while and passing through several rooms as well as portals, they finally arrived at an extremely spacious hall. In the center of the hall was a round table with old people sitting around it. The group of old men were more akin to transcendent beings.

As soon as the old granny, Tang Xiao and Denas entered the hall, all the eye gazes of the old men sitting at the round table turned their heads towards them.

Tang Xiao and Denas looked surprised to see the large hall. Nor do they believe that there are humans inhabiting the room. The more it led into the room, the more Tang Xiao felt something very familiar about him. He did not know what it was, yet it was as if it was his other self.

"Congratulations to you young people have made it here." The words of the elders sitting around the round table as Tang Xiao and Denas had been sitting on their chairs surrounding the round table.

"What exactly is this place?" Tang Xiao asked curiously as he looked around the large hall but did not get what he wanted.

"This place isn't as simple as it looks." Said one of the elders sitting at the end of the round table who looked like the leader of the group of old men.

"It was once the largest palace in the world. All the people of the world worshiped this palace and glorified it. Whoever does not follow the rules of this world made by this palace will perish himself and his entire family. That's how the kingdom was hundreds of centuries ago." Said the old man.

Tang Xiao and Denas were still quietly waiting for the story from the old man.

Tuk tuk tuk...

The old man knocked on the table three times and a white light appeared which turned into a world complete with his life.

"This was the shape of the world in that era. This world is known as the upper world. A world that oversees several worlds and several lives and this world belongs to one of the worlds that enter the Immortal Realm. This kingdom was the center of this world and some vassal world. For hundreds of thousands of years this world lived in glory because of this palace. Unfortunately, this world had finally met his karma which made this world kicked out of the Immortal Realm. A little while young let me take my breath first." Said the old man who looked like he was taking a deep breath.

"Young people don't laugh at me. Even though I am this old man, I am capable of killing the strongest person in the world right now with just a glance." The old man's words saw Denas covering his mouth holding back a laugh.

"Is that so?" Denas asked in disbelief.

"of course. In the past, someone who was at the nine-star Holy Ancestor realm was a babu in this palace who was not considered. Long ago when this world was part of the Immortal Realm, our world managed to have some strong people who were in the Supreme God realm and became one of the world rulers of the Immortal Realm." Answer the old man.

That answer made Denas stare in disbelief.

"God Supreme? Is there anyone in that area?" Denas murmured in disbelief.

"Yes of course there is. There were even hundreds of people who were at the Almighty God realm and became Immortal Realm masters." The old man replied relaxed.

"Wow... Great, very great. I'm sure one day I will surpass the Immortal Realm and enter the Divine Realm." Murmured Denas excitedly.

"Pffit... Your imaginary young man is too tall. In the past, the Immortal Realm Sovereign who was at the peak Almighty God realm had never been able to enter it despite having repeatedly tried it. Moreover, you who do not possess any qualifications "Reply the old man shook his head.

"Old grandfather, of course I have a condition to enter it but you don't need to know what it is." Reply Denas while looking at Tang Xiao who was sitting next to him in a state of silence.

"Then why was this world kicked from the Immortal Realm, it was impossible without a cause right?" Tang Xiao asked curiously.

"This is the turning point of the fall of this world. Just then during the day from above the sky of this kingdom, a huge dimensional crack suddenly appeared. The magnitude of the crack was able to seal off this entire vast empire. The strong people who were at the Supreme God realm flew around the crack and prepared for a strong enemy to come out from there.

Nothing came out of the crack except a golden light that descended rapidly and struck this palace. That golden light did not destroy anything, it was just that the adult-sized golden light was located on the throne of the Emperor of this kingdom.

Everyone did not know what light was and was unable to approach it unless it was desired. Until finally one of the elders in the Supreme God realm invited a person in the Almighty God realm to ask what light it was.

As the Almighty God approached the golden light, he suddenly flung into the wall. Then came a voice from the light that said this "Low-like beings like you dare to approach me who are from the Divine Realm. Don't anyone bother me, even though I'm only a soul piece of my power capable of killing thousands of the strongest people in the Immortal Realm." That is how the golden light says that it is a piece of the soul.

From then on this world was kicked out of the Immortal Realm and entered the Mortal Realm. The life of this world became chaotic as many Immortal Realm beings were still in this world and were demanding over this incident. Eventually those Immortal Beings allied against those golden pieces of light. But unfortunately, with only one power this kingdom is almost destroyed and finally buried underground in millions of years until you enter this palace." Said the old man at length while reminiscing about the past events.

Tang Xiao was aghast at the old man's story. Now he knew why there was such a familiar taste in this palace.

"Where is that light?" Tang Xiao asked impatiently.

"Well, are you young? Are you trying to have it?" Said the old man and continued his words.

"After this palace was cursed not to be able to see the sunlight, he promised that there would be someone who would come here and take him. He promised that it was that person who would free us from this curse and restore our glory. He gave us the power of life so that we could survive several million years waiting for the person who took the piece of light."

The old man took a few breaths and continued his story.

"Then the light fell asleep on the throne which from the first time it came here never moved. In order not to cause any trouble, I made one dimension and put the golden light in the dimension I made. I didn't think that he liked that dimension even strengthened it so that no one would know about it or open it apart from me. Not even my friends know where the light is. Since then the light never appeared or came out when time had passed more than a million years ago." Said the old hunchback.

Tang Xiao and Denas fell silent at the old man's story. Denas did not understand at all the old man's story and even though he was of careful hearing.

Unlike Tang Xiao, he was already impatient about to meet that light. He recalled the battle against the Ancient Divine Beings for a hundred years without stopping to the point of making him sacrifice himself. Then from then on he only knew that the pieces of his soul fell into various worlds in the Eight Universe dimension. He never expected his arrival into this world that had unintentionally made him regain a fragment of his soul. Tang Xiao himself did not know where the other pieces of his soul were despite having searched with Soul Power.

"Since you have made it into this palace then I will open that dimension. Let's hope one of you meant the golden light." Said the old man then took out a key then inserted it into the keyhole on the round table.

Wussh...

Slowly, behind the old man appeared a single dimensional crack and within the dimension was a majestic throne that above the throne was a golden light that gave off an overwhelming aura of oppression. The light seemed to be asleep but everyone in the room other than Tang Xiao felt oppressed.

"Please see who wants to try it first." Said the old man to Tang Xiao and Denas while making a gesture inviting.

"Sister, mending third brother ajalah. I couldn't walk as soon as the light came out." Said Denas whispering. Seen Denas had been sweating, his white forehead had been soaked by sweat.

"Use that handkerchief I gave you." Said Tang Xiao who felt sorry to see Denas's troubled condition. I don't know why she felt so sick seeing her sister like that.

Taps...

Tang Xiao touched Denas' shoulder so that he was free from the pressure that came out just like that.

Vush.....

A golden light surrounded Denas' body and made Denas able to breathe a sigh of relief. He rubbed the sweat on his forehead with his sleeves.

"Thank you brother." Denas said with a sweet smile. Everyone in the room held their breaths looking at Denas' sweet smile including Tang Xiao.

Tang Xiao only gave a small nod then walked closer to that light. The originally indifferent golden light suddenly moved up and down and instantly shot into Tang Xiao's body quickly.

Vusshhhh.....

The entire room shook violently, even the surface of the Merona Dawn Desert Desert was rippling like waves of sea water.

A majestic golden light emanated from all over Tang Xiao's body that was hovering dazzlingly at anything. At this moment Tang Xiao's cultivation was increasing rapidly. The entire room was filled with golden-colored light that shot out from Tang Xiao's body. The golden light hit anything.

The old men who sat around the round table who initially looked old, once the golden light hit them instantly they looked young aged between thirty to forty years. They look handsome and beautiful.

Different from Denas. As soon as the golden light hit him something hidden within his body responded and emitted a blue-colored light comparable in brightness to the golden light that shot out from Tang Xiao's body. The two lights intertwined to form a majestic light and then pierced through the sky.

No one knew the light included Tang Xiao or Denas. Other than Tang Xiao who was still hovering, the entire person in the room was like frozen and unable to move at all. Even blinking they can't. Never mind blinking, even thinking they can't and don't know what's really going on in front of them.

Taps...

Tang Xiao's feet touched the floor. He had already finished absorbing the entire Divine Energy from that light. At the moment his appearance looks different than before. His blue hair was shoulder-length, his blue eyes giving off a majestic golden light. Her clothes turned into a golden robe with exquisite carvings.

Tang Xiao looked around and found that everyone in the room was stopping moving. It was not just them who were unable to move, space and time did not move at all.

"Hem.. It's better than exposing yourself." Tang Xiao muttered.

....................

Meanwhile, in a world two hundred million light-years away, ten people were sitting around a round table. They wore a tuxedo stelan complete with his fantovel shoes. They were watching a beautiful woman present her work.

Among the ten people was a handsome young man with blue hair and blue eyes wearing black glasses with a serious face watching the woman's presentation. Behind the blue-clothed young man stood two handsome young men like Body Guard wearing sunglasses.

The blue-haired youth suddenly felt surprised making everyone in the room turn their heads towards him. Once he found out something was wrong, the young man snapped his finger.

Hmh...

The whole room turned into a statue. They are stopped from all their thoughts and activities. Everyone stopped except for the two young men standing behind the white-haired young man as well as the beautiful woman who was presenting her work.

Wuush....

The blue-haired young man suddenly floated up. His entire body emitted a majestic golden light that was capable of oppressing anyone. The entire room shook violently, not just the room but the world the young man lived in shook as well.

Suppose the three people who are not stiff do not make a layer of dimensions, of course the skyscraper where they are now standing has been smashed and all its contents and leaves behind flying dust.

Taps...

The haired young man again set foot on the ceramic floor. The golden light emanating from his body slowly dimmed.

"Happy master, have managed to find one of the master's soul pieces." Speak to the three people with enthusiasm and a happy face.

"Hmmm... It's not in vain to leave my other self out there." The blue-haired young man was happy.

"Well go back to each other's place and act like nothing's happened." The blue-haired young man returned to his big chair and put on his sunglasses. Then the blue-haired man flicked his finger and things went back to the way they were.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

The author's condition is not yet fit..

So his Up is not necessarily.

Wonder what light came out of Denas' body??

Keep following this novel, okay....
