Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

```

He was sensing for the presence of the Asura God's Sword; in his past life, this super divine weapon had been wielded jointly by him and his spouse, and it was nurtured by their divine consciousness, making it the most likely artifact whose level would not be restricted.

His divine consciousness spread out to feel for that sword beam with the majestic power to span heaven and earth.

After a long while, there was no result.

Tang San's brows slightly knitted, worthy of the Ancestral Court indeed! Even the presence of the Asura God's Sword seemed unable to penetrate through. Given this, he would have to act a bit earlier than planned to avoid being unable to respond in time should Pretty Girl encounter any imminent danger.

At this moment, he was sitting in the training room, surrounded by purple crystals. Tang San was not absorbing energy to nourish his divine consciousness through the purple crystals, but rather using this energy to suppress himself, keeping the restless energy stable and maintaining a balance that prevented an outburst.

It was at this very moment that Tang San suddenly felt something and his gaze shifted towards the outside of the training room.

A chilling aura began to converge in the direction of the living room, and a terrifying pressure spread almost instantly to every corner of the top two floors of the White Lake Grand Hotel. It was as if a primordial beast had appeared there, emitting a silent roar.

With each breath and respiration, the spirituality of heaven and earth on the upper two floors was suddenly drawn in towards the source of that terrifying pressure, as if a sea collecting a myriad of streams.

Once, twice, thrice!

By the time the third inhalation and exhalation occurred, all the spirituality of heaven and earth within the room had been swept away. The next instant, that overwhelming pressure also suddenly vanished, as if it had never existed.

Feeling the pressure receding, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Tang San's mouth, family was indeed family after all!

Perhaps, this individual was restricted by the laws of the Ancestral Court and couldn't say anything, but its actions had already told Tang San a lot.

Three days, huh? In three days, that day would come.

There was still a three-day buffer, but unfortunately, he would have to stay right here for these three days.

Given Tang San's current condition, he couldn't move around at will. If he wasn't careful, any agitation could lead to great trouble.

Now that he had definite news, he could accept it calmly, once again closing his eyes, drawing the energy from the purple crystals to waft around his body, suppressing inwardly and isolating outwardly.

Silver light intertwined. When Pretty Girl's consciousness came back to clarity, she found herself in a silver world.

This was a wondrous space. Everything around seemed to be made of layers upon layers of space stacked on top of each other. These spaces appeared fragmentary, akin to individual dimensions. When they merged and touched each other, they produced a variety of changes.

Tang San had once told her that space was the most mysterious existence in this world, second only to time. In a sense, every dimension and world is made up of space and time, from the universe at large to the tiniest speck of dust, such is the case. Discover hidden stories at empire

This peculiar space in front of her eyes gave her a special feeling. Although the space changed in myriad ways, there was also a unique law to it. The space here was operating according to that specific law, very stable.

"You have my bloodline, but it is not pure," said an ethereal voice at this moment.

```

The voice seemed to squeeze through every crevice of space from all directions, very bizarre indeed.

"Ancestor?" Pretty Girl asked in surprise.

"You may call me that. Human? You have human blood in your veins? And white tiger blood as well? Such a mixture. How did you come here? Strange, very strange. Your aura is so unusual, you didn't choose the Heavenly Mechanism Feather?"

"Yes, I have come to report to the Ancestral Court," Pretty Girl said respectfully.

"Report? Have you succeeded the position in Jiali City?"

"I have," Pretty Girl answered once more.

"My clan actually intermarried with a Foreign Race, and with humans, such a weak Race at that. Could it be, this is the method they've found to lift the curse?" The Great Peacock Demon Emperor spoke with a mix of puzzlement and melancholy.

"Curse? What curse are you referring to?" Pretty Girl asked, curious.

"The curse from the heavens. Have the words I left behind not been passed down?" expressed the Great Peacock Demon Emperor in surprise.

"Where are your words?" inquired Pretty Girl, equally astonished.

The Great Peacock Demon Emperor fell silent for a moment, "I see, you did not make the Heavenly Mechanism Feather your core divine tool, so you do not know. Only when the Heavenly Mechanism Feather truly recognizes its master will my messages appear. It seems that before you, there also has never been a clansman who was recognized. How potent the curse must be to have come to this."

Pretty Girl, driven by curiosity, said, "Can you tell me about the curse? Is it against our clan?"

The Great Peacock Demon Emperor replied, "Although I am puzzled that it is you in this state who has come here to face this strand of divine consciousness I left behind, from what I see now, it seems to be even better than any situation I had imagined. Actually, quite wonderful. You are very lucky to have not chosen the Heavenly Mechanism Feather as your core divine tool. Otherwise, even if you could break through the former curse in the future, you would still fall into a brand new one."

Pretty Girl felt a chill in her heart, "You mean, the curse brought about by Peeping into the Skies."

"Indeed," said the Great Peacock Demon Emperor solemnly: "The Heavenly Mechanism cannot be seen; this is the law, not just the law of our plane, but a universal one. And I, in my youth, arrogant and confident in my unmatched talent, persuaded by the Heavenly Fox, chose to peer into the Heavenly Mechanism with space. I did have my moments of glory, but it exhausted my lifespan, and with the Cultivation base of a Great Demon Emperor, I lived for only a short time, less than two hundred years. Moreover, I was cursed and brought calamity upon my descendants, rued with inconsolable regret. That's right, that curse is brought by the heavens, suppressing my clan."

Pretty Girl asked with confusion, "Did the former patriarchs of our clan also hear these things from you? Have they come here to see you?"

Silver light swirled, and a phantom silver silhouette slowly took form amidst the layers of silvery halos, the figure of a woman, yet her face unseen, with resplendent peacock feathers fanning out behind her.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"No. You are the first one able to communicate with me since this Ancestor Pillar was established. To see me requires a true comprehension of the essence of space. Clearly, before you, there wasn't even a single clansman who could achieve this. They didn't even pass the initial recognition of the Heavenly Mechanism Feather. But you were not only recognized by the Heavenly Mechanism Feather, but you also astonishingly didn't choose it as your core divine tool at the time of Tribulation into godhood. Perhaps this is due to fortune. Your time here is limited, so from now on, do not interrupt, and listen to what I have to tell you."

"Yes," Pretty Girl bowed again, saluting the projection of the Great Peacock Demon Emperor.

"You should be aware of the phrase 'Peacock Peeping into the Skies'. It speaks of how I once could peer into the Heavenly Mechanism, foreseeing the future. Indeed, I was capable of it, and made numerous prophecies for both Demon and Fairy Races, averting many crises for the Demon Monster Land. At that time, I could even describe myself as oblivious to the extent of the heavens and the earth, unaware that knowing the future, revealing the Heavenly Mechanism, was so dangerous."

"Remember my words, the Heavenly Mechanism must not be revealed. Once it is, it endangers not only yourself but everything related to you, including relatives, clansmen, and even friends. I possessed the best talent ever seen in our Peacock Demon Clan, and in my youth, I was blessed with countless opportunities by the heavens. Yet, in my later years, not only did my own body experience severe issues, but I also had to watch helplessly as my loved ones passed away one by one, with even the continuation of the bloodline becoming a significant problem. I did not understand why, until the end of my life, when I finally realized why I, the Great Demon Emperor, would have such a fate. It was all backlash from revealing the Heavenly Mechanism. Now that you have become the patriarch and did not use the Heavenly Mechanism Feather as your Lifebound Divine Artifact at the time you became a god, you will not encounter the problems I faced before."
