Myriad Realms Summoning System
Chapter Summary
Looking at the mist behind the stone gate of Emperor Xiao Jiu's mausoleum, Xiao Chen smiled faintly at Xiao Longtu and said, "Aren't you going in with me? Aren't you afraid that I might do something if I go in alone?" Xiao Chen was just joking, but Xiao Longtu said solemnly, "The Xiao family has a rule. The descendants of the Xiao family can enter the tombs of other members of the same clan, but no one is allowed to enter the tomb of the ancestors, not even me." Although Xiao Longtu is Xiao Jiu'...
Xiao Jiu's tomb is not like the tombs of the emperors in Chinese history. It is not an underground palace, but an independent space. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a miniature world.
In this world, since there are storage rings, it is not surprising that there are man-made small worlds.
However, although it is a miniature world, it is very different from Xiao Chen's current system world. Xiao Jiu's small world in the imperial tomb is not full of vitality. It can only be regarded as an independent space that can accommodate living things.
This is what Xiao Longtu told himself.
Looking at the mist behind the stone gate of Emperor Xiao Jiu's mausoleum, Xiao Chen smiled faintly at Xiao Longtu and said, "Aren't you going in with me? After all, Xiao Jiu is the ancestor of your Xiao family. Aren't you afraid that I might do something if I go in alone?"
Xiao Chen was just joking, but Xiao Longtu said solemnly, "The Xiao family has a rule. The descendants of the Xiao family can enter the tombs of other members of the same clan, but no one is allowed to enter the tomb of the ancestors, not even me."
Although Xiao Longtu is Xiao Jiu's grandson and the person who has the final say in the Xiao family, he has never entered Xiao Jiu's tomb.
Even though he had overused the magic sword and suffered incurable injuries, he still did not enter Xiao Jiu's tomb to look for a way to heal his injuries. From this point alone, it can be seen that Xiao Longtu is a rule-abiding person.
In fact, Xiao Longtu was also very curious about Xiao Jiu's tomb, but the rules of his ancestors could not be violated in any way.
Xiao Chen nodded, but didn't force him. He just said, "In that case, I'll go in alone."
After saying that, Xiao Chen no longer hesitated and stepped into the imperial mausoleum. His figure disappeared in the mist. Then, a series of clicking sounds were heard from the door of the imperial mausoleum, and the open door closed again.
When the tomb door was completely closed, Eunuch Hai, who had been silent the whole time, walked up to Xiao Longtu and said, "Master, who is this young man? Why are you letting him into the tomb of Xiao Jiu's ancestors? Isn't this a bit..."
Having said that, Eunuch Hai did not continue speaking, but just looked at Xiao Longtu curiously.
He has been guarding the tomb here for tens of millions of years. During these tens of millions of years, no one has ever entered Xiao Jiu's imperial mausoleum, not even the Xiao family royal family headed by Xiao Longtu. He also knows the ban that Xiao Jiu set back then.
But today, Xiao Longtu, who always regarded rules as the highest order, actually allowed a strange man to enter the imperial mausoleum, which made him very strange.
Xiao Longtu said calmly, "This man is Emperor Xiao Chen, who helped our Xiao family out of trouble. As for why he was allowed into the tomb of our ancestor Xiao Jiu, it was because he was the person our ancestor was waiting for, and it was our ancestor who allowed him into the tomb."
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Hai's pupils shrank slightly, and he asked in surprise, "What? He is the person that Ancestor Xiao Jiu is waiting for?"
Although Eunuch Hai is a eunuch, he is also one of the most senior people in the Xiao family. He had joined the Xiao family when Xiao Jiu was still alive, so he knew a thing or two about Xiao Jiu's last words.
But no one expected that the person Xiao Jiu's ancestor was waiting for was such a young man.
…
"Is this Xiao Jiu's tomb?"
Standing in Xiao Jiu's tomb, Xiao Chen looked around curiously, only to see that everything around him was still white. It seemed that in this space, apart from the air, there was only this endless white mist.
Alone in this extremely quiet space, Xiao Chen did not feel the slightest fear, he was just a little confused.
There seems to be nothing here! How can I find Xiao Jiu?
As if hearing the doubts in his heart, the endless fog around him suddenly receded like a tide, and then the surroundings turned into a starry sky. In the center of the starry sky was an ancient bronze sarcophagus.
This change startled Xiao Chen, but he soon discovered that although he was floating in the air, he did not feel any discomfort, and his feet still felt like they were on the ground.
At this moment, a vast voice suddenly sounded in the starry sky, which was neither big nor small.
"After thirty million years, someone finally arrived. Are you... the one I've been waiting for?"
Hearing this vast voice, Xiao Chen's heart was shocked. Then he looked in the direction of the voice and saw green mist lingering around the bronze sarcophagus. Soon, the figure of a man in a green robe appeared clearly.
The man was about thirty years old, with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, and a handsome appearance. There was also a faint domineering aura about him. Xiao Chen recognized his identity at just one glance.
The ancestor of the Xiao family, the founding father of the Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty, Xiao Jiu.
The shadow of the man in front of him was nine out of ten similar to the man in the portrait that Xiao Longtu showed him.
"Are you the ancestor of the Xiao family, Xiao Jiu?"
Xiao Chen put his hands behind his back, squinted his eyes and looked at the phantom of Xiao Jiu who seemed close to him but was actually far away, and asked in a deep voice.
Xiao Jiu's shadow did not answer, but the next moment, for some reason, Xiao Chen's body had arrived less than ten meters away from the sarcophagus, and Xiao Jiu's shadow also sat cross-legged on the sarcophagus.
He looked at Xiao Chen with a smile and said, "Since you can come here and see me, there is no need for me to answer this question."
Xiao Chen was not at all surprised by the sudden change. Since this was Xiao Jiu's imperial tomb, everything in the tomb was naturally controlled by Xiao Jiu. The changes before him were not surprising.
Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Jiu and asked in a deep voice, "I didn't come here to chat with you to relieve my boredom. The sword spirit Xiao Wu told me that you left something here for me, so I came to get it. Where is it?"
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Xiao Jiu said helplessly, "I've waited for you here for thirty million years. Now that you're here, it's not too much to ask for the gift I left for you and to talk to me!"
Xiao Chen sneered and said, "Tsk, you're just a remnant soul that could dissipate at any time. You're not Xiao Jiu himself. What's the point of me talking to you? Just do what you need to do!"
Xiao Jiu had died a long time ago, and his soul had dissipated. What was buried in the imperial mausoleum was just his body. The first time Xiao Chen saw this guy, he knew that he was just a remnant soul left by Xiao Jiu.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jiu's remnant soul gave a bitter laugh and said, "You are truly pragmatic. Even though I am a remnant soul, I am still the remnant soul of the clone you left behind. Can't you express your grief?"
Xiao Chen curled his lips but did not respond to him.
Expressing grief? I'm afraid I'm overthinking it. Xiao Chen has long since become indifferent to life and death. How could he mourn for a deceased person?
